Re: [ubuntu-in] Package management crashed - How to re-install

2007-06-15 Thread Francis Bosco

What errors are you getting? Until you state the exact error messages
got during installation or re-installation it is not easy to guess
what might have gone wrong.



Since it was taking long time to install postgresql-common (dependency of
postgresql), I closed that window (installing window) but not able to close
the GDebi package installer (it was not responding) so that package
postgresql-common itself not installed in system.

Then I restarted my system. Now, I tried to install packages
(postgresql-common also others) GDebi installer reporting error

only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same
time Please close the other application e.g.
Update manager …….

I opened synaptic it's showing error like

E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure –a' to
correct  the problem

I did this in my terminal with sudo. Then restarted my system again. Now
GDebi showing error like
could not open package. This might be corrupted (for all the package even
for  those which are installed correctly by me previous)

Now synaptic. Reporting errors like
E: the package postgresql-common needs to be reinstalled, but I cannot
fins an  archive for it
E: Interpol error opening cache (1). Please report

So then I was not able to do any kind of package management. I re-installed
my whole ubuntu (6.10) system, and then made a fresh download from packages.
Ubuntu.com but the problem continues.

I have reinstalled my system three times for post two days but cannot find
the answer for this.
Actually I want to use postgresql as back-end for Gambas application I have
no knowledge with postgresql and with any other dB packages.

[ubuntu-in] Package management crashed - How to re-install

2007-06-13 Thread Francis Bosco

I tried to Install PostgreSql in my Ubuntu6.10 Edgy system from downloaded
deb packages from packages.ubuntu.com, there was one dependancy package
called postgresql-commom. when i installed that package, it was infinite
time not got completed so i cancelled that process.

Thereafter i am not able to install any other packages using GDebi, Synaptic
or aptitude. all those components showing error like postgresql-common needs
to be re-installed. I can't even install postgresql-common package too.

How can i reinstall that package management system lonely or i have to
re-install the whole system.

Since i have no internet connection in my pc, i have downloaded those
packages in a browsing center and used Gdebi installer to install them

try sudo apt-get install -y to let apt-get recover automatically.
